The governor has signed the class
flied salary bill, and it is now a
law. 1t is said that Governor Ste
vcnson approved the bill with con-
siderable reluctance, as he regarded
it, in the main, as an increase of
salaries and fees. But as the bill
was the result of compromise and
received full vote on its passage,
he declined to antagonize the en-
tire Legislature, and SO signed it.
Under the provisions of the bill the
county commissions are, at the
April meeting of the board, to fix
the salaries. Alturas county being
in the first class, its officials will
theu have their remuneration fixed
at a figure between the minimum
and maximum amounts allowed by

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nay PIT. Y.
Powderly, who is now il his city, says
in to-day's issue of his Journal of United
Labor: In the United States, although
scarcely out of it's squatting era, we al
ready have an incipieUt landholding
arlstocracy, which is by no means con-
fined to the bonanza farms of the west,
where the work is to great extent done
by machinery and the horde of tramp
agricultural laborers, There are in this
country over I,50O,O0O capitalistic or
specializing owners who have their farms
titled by hired workers. Nearly 100000
of these land baTons hold from 500 to
1000 acres each. We have 10000
tenant renters, almost as many
as there are in Great Britain, cultivating
One-quarter of our total farms, and
1924 900 wage workers who do not rent
land. OF the 1,500,G00 farmers who
themselves cultivate their holdings, it is
estimated that 40 per cent have their
farms mortgaged to such an extent as to
really pay rent in interest. In many in
stances we have q system of pooling and
combination to which the much de-
nounced Union tyranny and that OF the
terrible walking delegate cannot hold g
candle. Until lately IN all but {, few
even the best organized workers could
hardly counteraet the terror of the ticket
of leave plan, By virtue Of which S was
impossible Tor the blach-listed unfortun
ate to obtain employment. The increased
influence of the Knights of Labor no
sooner Eitigsted that oppression and as
serted the right OF employees to
voice in fixing their reDunere-
ton than the CTy goes ~ from
the employers that we want to manage
our own business with no diCtstion, and
the incidental advice is thrown. in that
workmen, for their own good, should es-
chew the bossism OF knighthood and be
come free hsquires of work" That
means work and ask no questions. IN

The bsllet corps OF the Paris grand

There are three stars, ten first subjects,
twenty-five second subjects, three

The pupils receive 40 cents each time
they appear; the young ladies Of the

corvphees from $50 to $50; the subjects,
or those who dance steps outside the
ensemble figures, $50 to $500; the stars
from $4,000 to $4,000 per year. These

quite well, but on receiving information
of the death of twin brother, who had
actually died of scirrhous liver, he i'm

gentleman is certainly dead, and it is

the fact, will hasten to cut him up De-

He called for q carving knife q nd, whet-

After running g considerable distance,

Galloways, Herefords and Short-hcrns
are the favorite stock. The breed of
horses is also improving, as some of the
best blooded stock in the world has

thousand head of sheep here, which are
profitable on account of the wool. Our
surplus beef cattle is bought up every
